Hi,

As youve no doubt found out by now - the auto partitioning tool (c:partition) fails to prepare the drive, so InstallAROS doesnt have anything to format.

The solution as you've also been told/found out is to manually partition it in HDToolBox for the time being ..

I hope to take a look at c:partition sometime in the near future and fix the problems with it - and also make it use only freespace by default, and have an option to forcefully nuke a drive.

The options are in InstallAROS but not doing anything atm..


yours,
Nick Andrews
aka Kalamatee

LOL

well the pcnet32 driver is my contribution aswell =/

I will put a binary on AROS archives for those wanting/needing it - I forgot it wasnt compiled during the build system.

The reason it doesnt is the same as for the nforce driver - it causes problems for the hosted build so by default its just not built.

> Fantastic! Presumably it'll appear here?

Thats the intention however just now submitting to AA seems to be disabled.

For now they can be obtained here ...

Great =)

I havent looked at Mosaic for a while so I couldnt say for sure what is the problem.  Perhaps when i have time next (possibly at the weekend) I could take a look and see if theres anything obvious wrong.

Let me know if you have any issues with the drivers though ..
